The annual shareholder’s meeting will take place on Wednesday June 30th at 7PM at the Seafarers’ and Interational House at 123 East 15th St, second floor.
At the meeting, the Board of Directors will be seeking at least one new member. If you wish to become a candidate for the Board and have your name placed on the ballot, please feel free to provide a short biography of yourself via fax (212) 986-0002 or e-mail to ymartinez@akam.com. The Board will also welcome nominations at the meeting itself.
… at least on Thursdays, when the Farmer’s Market is not in session. Details here.
D’agostino’s is long gone, and Agata and Valentina had to vacate so that the undistinguished building can be demolished and replaced by retail and apartments. Should be an interesting build. How high? Unknown at this time.
Tisserie, the fancy pastry shop that closed at the northwest corner of Union Square, will be replaced by popular British-based sandwich shop Pret a Manger. They have rather good coffee, by the way.
Replacing City Tavern at 22 East 13th St. will be All’Onda, which appears to be a high-end Italian spot focusing on seafood. The Chef is a veteran of both Morimoto and Ai Fiori.
Note that the entire western side of 3rd Ave. between 10th and 11th Streets save for the southernmost building has been bought up and is destined to meet the wrecking ball. The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation says there are significant buildings with important stories on the block, but it seems unlikely the city will step in to stop redevelopment.
